Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log as a new topic in the Hijack This forum. It will get a better response there from the people most qualified to analyze logs.

It sounds kinda like you have the sasser worm If it is, you can download a free fix from microsoft from a friends computer or something and bring it on disk. I had the same problem on my desktop and laptop.

That's a virus. Probably the one mentioned above. You can go to Symantecs website and download a free tool to remove it. Then, as stated above, you can get the patch from Microsoft but don't go back on-line to get the patch. You'll be infected again before you can download the patch. It would be best to burn the tool and patch to a cd from another pc.
